Why Tamarack Adventure & Retreat Center?

Why not is the better question. Tamarack Adventure & Retreat Center was established in 1963, and since we opened our doors, we’ve helped groups of all ages, backgrounds, abilities and learning styles embark on new adventures and discover new abilities. We’re passionate about team building and outdoor education, and it reflects in everything we do. Our highly trained staff helps groups recognize the true meaning of teamwork and community, while inspiring an appreciation of nature.

We offer overnight retreats, day trips and off-site programming, and provide customized experiences to meet every group’s needs.

Certifications and Accreditations

Many of our classes are designed to complement Michigan educational benchmarks and curriculum. Teachers, administrators, community group leaders and corporate groups choose us because of our rich history for providing invaluable learning and life experiences that cannot be taught indoors.
